Synopsis

Saintly Miracles explores the captivating world of Christian miracles attributed to saints and their profound impact on religious history and devotion. The book examines these miracles, not to verify their authenticity, but to understand their reception, interpretation, and influence on believers throughout time.

 
One intriguing aspect is how miracles, whether seen as divine acts or through a sociological lens, have shaped religious practices and theological doctrines. Another is the role of canonization, the process by which the Church recognizes individuals as saints, often based on reported miracles.

 
The book traces the evolution of sainthood and miracles from the early Church to the present day, considering societal changes, theological debates, and political landscapes; this historical context allows readers to see how these concepts are shaped. Approaching the topic with accessibility in mind, the book is divided into three sections: introducing core concepts, examining historical periods with case studies, and exploring the lasting impact on religious devotion and popular culture.

 
The analysis draws on hagiographies, historical chronicles, and other sources to show the power dynamics inherent in miraculous narratives.

    Hans Schiller was a seventeen-year-old student in Bromberg, Prussia, when World War I broke out in August 1914. He enlisted in the German army and was assigned to an artillery unit on the Eastern Front. From 1915 to 1917, Schiller saw action in what is now Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. After the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917 and Russia's withdrawal from the war, Schiller was transferred to the Western Front. He arrived in time for Germany's last great offensive in the west, where the attempt to break the Allied lines included what is believed to be the single greatest artillery bombardment in human history up to that point. After the German retreat and Armistice, Schiller reentered military service in the Freikorps, German mercenary groups fighting in former German territory in Eastern Europe, where the conflict dragged on even after the Treaty of Versailles. Schiller left military service in May 1920. 
     
     
     
    Hans Schiller's Kriegserinnerungen (literally, "memories of war") was written in 1928 and based on diaries, since lost, that Schiller kept during the war. A Tale of Two Fronts, an edition of the memoir with historical context and explanatory notes, provides a vivid first-person account of German army life during World War I. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the experiences of common soldiers in World War I.
